Andrew Dixon, an extensive agriculturist and leading citizen of
Frankfort township, was born on the old homestead, November 7,
1874, son of James Dixon the pioneer. He attended the district
schools and has always remained at home. He began on his own
responsibility with 113 acres. He bought out the other heirs to his
father's estate, and now owns 340 acres of good land and rents 160
acres more, thus making 500 acres in all, on which he conducts
scientific diversified farming. He raises the usual crops on an
extensive scale, and makes a specialty of raising Durham cattle and
Durac-Jersey swine. Probably no farm in the county has so fine a
collection of buildings.
